The reverse depicts the amazing bald eagle—Haliaeetus leucocephalus—is Canada’s largest bird of prey and the only eagle exclusive to North America. An apex predator with no natural enemies, the bald eagle has long been a potent symbol of vision, power, and stoicism. The adult boasts a wing span of more than 2 metres, a standing height of about 1 metre, and an average weight of up to 7 kilograms. Females are generally larger than males. The renowned raptor is noted for its distinctive dark-feathered body and white-feathered head, large golden eyes, bright yellow beak, and massive yellow claws armed with sharp, powerful talons.

Augusta does not provide legal, tax, or investment advice. The Augusta® Depository Gold IRA is a self-directed IRA containing physical precious metals administered by a third-party custodian and stored in a non-government depository storage facility where investors can make an appointment to see their precious metals. The Augusta® Home Delivery Gold IRA is a self-directed physical precious metals IRA delivered to your home. Some investors choose to store IRS-approved American Eagle gold or silver in an IRA in their homes. However, it is wiser to store all metals in a safe deposit box at a U.S. bank. If investors sidestep rules or mishandle account assets (e.g., setting up the IRA improperly, engaging in a prohibited transaction, such as withdrawing metals before retirement to use for any other purpose, etc.), or if it is determined that home delivery or home or bank safe deposit box storage are not permitted by the IRS, the investor could lose tax-exempt status and have to pay taxes and penalties. There is no clear IRS guidance on the legality of the home delivery IRA structure or home or safe deposit box storage, and the IRS is under no obligation to issue guidance on whether home or bank safe deposit storage satisfies IRS requirements and may, at any time, audit an IRA, declare that home or bank safe deposit box storage does not satisfy IRS requirements, and impose taxes and penalties on the IRA owner. It is important to consult your own legal and financial advisors before opening a home delivery IRA from Augusta, and then work with your advisors to decide where to store your precious metals. As with any investment, past performance might not predict future returns. The price of precious metals fluctuates over time and investors might lose money.
